Opening the Philadslphla Ball Grounds.
PHILADELPHIA, April Boa great event
in the history of base ball in this city took
place to-day in the opening Of the Philadel-
phia base ball park. The new grounds are
believed to be the most complete and best
appointed in the United States and cost
not far from $751; 600. While situated
quite q distance from the center of the city,
it is readily accessible by the Pennsylvania
and Reading railroads and four different
lines of street railways. Fol the opening
had been rendered to the State
and city officials and prominent citizens a
majority of whom graced the occasion by
their presence. The seating capacity of the
grounds is Ii, 500, but before the beginning
of the game every seat was occupied and
the crowd surged into the field. Ropes
were then brought into requisition and the
overflow, estimated at $500 persons, were
lined behind them. Before the game com
menced, the New York and Philadelphia
players raised a flag and were accorded a
generous reception by the spectators. Al
medals, emblematic of the local
championship, were presented to the Phila-
players. Owing to the heavy con-
dition Of the grounds the game was not OF
a brilliant order. Fast base running was
out of the question, and no matter how
hard a ball was hit it rolled only a few feet.
Keefe was hit harder than ever before.

| CHICAGO, April IL Inter ocean TO-
day prints tt result of interviews with
heads of representative wholesale firms in
Chicago and a large number OF prominent
receivers and shippers of grain and pro-
| visions, which develops sope interesting in
formation as to the practical operation of
the Interstate Commerce law. The one
point upon which all agreed ia that freight
rates are likely tU be permanently higher
under the new enactment, and that con-
sumers of commodities must pay this in
crease into the treasury of the railroads.
Some held, however, that compromising ad-
vantages would be derived from the en-
forcement OF the ''short and long ham,"
and unjust discrimination" clauses suf-
ficient to more than offset the increase in
freight rates cuts no figure in price of goods
with their values. Still there is an unde-
niable advance thus far in the amount of
money expended in freight charges by job
bers of these goods Of fully 20 to rs per
cent, and their business with the Pacific
coast is practically obliterated under the
law. The attitude of the railroads toward
the law is almost universally condemned.

improperly, unhealthfully and unbeautifully
dressed, and a howl goes up from tho throats
of both sexes that said hinter wants to turn
all the women into men. To inveigh against
that curse of humanity, the petticoat (which

port by Gen. Grant, holding that position for
seventeen years. In 1870 he drew up n memo
rial, which was largely signed and presented
to congress, showing the condition of the fish
cries at that time. This memorial set forth
that the Canadians had been guilty Of many
outragcs upon the American fisheries, and
asked that a non-intercourse act be passed at
once. The memorial passed through the pre-
liminary stages of the house unanimous
ly, and called out Gen. Grants message
asking for non-intercourse legislation. The
Washington treaty was shortly thereafter
negotiated, and this stopped all further pro
ceedings at TINT time. Capt. Babson COM
piled and prepared a large portion OF the doc
umentary evidence submitted on behalf Of
the Americans before the Halifax commits

Off the Dominion and Newfoundland coasts
in 1879 and obtained evidence Of the outrages

W. A. Wilcox is manager Of the American
fish bureau. He was born at Saratoga
Springs, N. Y, passed his boyhood days in
Vermont, and for several years was engaged
in business at Memphis, Tenn, and st. Louis,
Mo. During a portion Of this time he was
engaged in s~teamboating on the Mississippi
and other western rivers. He went to Boston
In 1872, and got thel head Of the Boston fish
bureau, with which institution he remained
for twelve years. In 1880 he was called to
census work on the fisheries as assistant
limited States fish commissioner, and covered
most of the territory from Portland, Me-, to
New Haven, Conn. He removed to Worces-
ter in 1885, and established tho American fish
bureau.

The total product of the inshore inackerel
fishery during 1885 did not exceed s per cent.
of the entire catch, and of this $ per cent. less
than a third was taken inside the three mile
limit.
Tho Fisheries convention, which was held
in Gloucester, Mass, last week, had to do not
only with the mackerel and cod fisheries, but
with whaling and all other sea fishing. The
American Fishery union was formed at
Gloucester in 1884. Its present president is
George Steele, of Gloucester,- and its secrc-
tary William II. Jordan.
The Hon. Spencer Il. Baird. since 1871
United States commissioner Of fish and fish
cries, an unsalaried Office, was also present.
He is very popular with fishermen. Pro-
fessor Baird was born in Reading, Pa, Feb.
5, 1923. AS a boy he studied at tho Quaker
boarding school, kept by Dr~McGraw, ut
Port Deposit, Nd, and at the grammar school
at Reading. He entered Dickinson college in
1886, and was graduated at the ngc OF II.
For some time after his graduation he
devoted himself to studies in general natural
history, in the prosecution of which he
took long pedestrian excursions, observing
animals and plants and collecting specimens.
His cabinet OF natural history specimens
a few years later became the nucleus of the
Smithsonian institution museum. Ito read
medicine Will Dr. Middleton boiushilIu, uhu
attended lectures at the College of Physicians
and Surgeons, New York, in 1912. Three
years later he was made professor Of natural
history in Dickinson college. In 1919 he
translated and edited the text for tho "lcono-
graphic Encyclopedia" the English version
of "Hcck's Bidder Atlas In 1850 he was
made assistant secretary of the Smithsonian
institution, entering upon his life work at
the age of 81. Between that time and
1874 he found an opportunity, notwith-
standing the arduous duties attendant pon
his position, to publish six works upon North
American natural history. From 1870 to
1873 he was scientific editor of Harper &
Brothers periodicals. His life has been sim
gular in its devotion to science. This is espe-
cially true from the fact that his work is
mostly u labor OF love.

The history of the fisheries OF North Amer
lea is ono of peculiar intetest. As early rs
1904 the Normans and Biscnynns knew of the
existence of the Newfoundland fisheries, nnl
the Biscayans havo a tradition that Now
foundland was visited by their countrymcn
prior to the time of Columbus, though this is
hardly probable.
The mackcrel fishing grounds, lying Off the
eastern coast of the United States. comprise
sc, 900 geographical square miles. The total
area commonly resorted to by American fish
ermen does not exceed 800 square miles. 1t
will be seen that the inshoro area is but n
very small percentage of tho total area, and
